Max that would be the best idea. Following one around from distance and observing exactly what they feed on and what temperatures they like to be at will help you so much. I know of a zoo in Europe that sent a keeper to the Northern Cape to observe some tortoises so that they could recreate the environment there. This was where I found out that they were feeding on drying leaves and flowers as well. They also checked the temperatures that the tortoises were basking in and at what time they would move and how hot the ground got at what time of the day etc etc.
It is easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.
Those who are afraid to ask are ashamed of learning.
